It stopped complaining about permissions, but apparently it won't work unless you have the +x as well (i.e. need to do "chmod o+rwx /dev/kvm" ). Perhaps that should be documented somewhere. Or maybe kvm should specifically check for that and complain early.
Um. Please excuse me but this is a complete bullshit.
qemu opens /dev/kvm in O_RDWR mode. It does not
execute that file, execute bit is not needed.
